As an east-german i'm looking upon this with bewilderment and bemusement as "left politics" are decried.

Despite the terseness of the article, the issue engenders mixed feelings of sympathy and bemusement.

His bemusement at the reaction of C++ proponents made me laugh: "But I did not think at the time that this would be controversial. I was sure that even the most rabid C++ fans would agree with me that the C++ macro system blows goat dick...

The iPad app worked well, but it was a source of bemusement to me that the self-service counter was just a counter with a row of iPads mounted on it. I once hit the home button on one, to see what would happen, and was taken to the home screen.

Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome tool and I spend a long time using it - but it's not for everyone and bemusement at why that may be the case is being short sighted.

The funny thing is, when they first started doing this, nobody took a blind bit of notice, the tone of comments on their earlier articles met the subject with bemusement. What's even more surprising however, is that still nobody cares!

Putting that aside, I share pjc50's bemusement that arguing for equal pay qualifies as a "hidden agenda". I also don't find speculation the same as "explicitly exposing facts".

> To my bemusement, not only was the friend I was messaging away, I also hadn't even sent the link; I pasted it into the chat window but forgot to hit enter.

It might be interesting out of sheer bemusement- especially if they take the Tesla around a WRC track- but it's ultimately a meaningless comparison. Oh, the Tesla has a nicer interior than the stripped Subaru racing shell?

Especially loved the comment: As a European, I find the story highly amusing and fully share my fellow continental inhabitant's bemusement. The story has a nice build up in that you expect some amazing conclusion after his quest to get and ride a plain old bike, but there isn't any: you can bike around Las Vegas just fine, people just think you're weird for doing it.

At that point amusement turned to bemusement at the ideological adoration heaped on her by what seemed to be a whole intellectual movement. Eek.

When the company does a companywide initative to remove "problematic" terms from APIs/documentation, but doesn't stop funding of politicians who support voter suppression that predominantly affect black people in real practical ways, that bemusement can even turn to offense as they feel placated. Of course, my coworkers don't represent all black people, and especially wouldn't claim to represent African Americans, but if even black people can hold this opinion, are you surprised others don't see this as worth the effort to change?
